Elders are people of old age. When they were young they were strong, but now they are weak and cannot work. Some of them can’t walk and they need wheelchairs. Some children do not have respect for elders. We must help elders. We all become old one day. Some elders live in elders homes because their children have no time for them. Elders don’t live happily in such homes. They don’t have love and comfort. When they were young they served the country. They have fought the terrorists. They have worked as doctors and dedicated their lives to treating and curing patients. They have also worked as teachers. We must not forget their services and we must look after them.
